Taking on Tallinn, Estonia

Taking on Tallinn, Estonia

While we can’t say that Estonia occupied a spot on our bucket list, we sure are glad that we checked it off anyway! 

You've GOT to love a country that sang its way to freedom, serves food you didn't even know was edible and (in the past), used some freaky remedies to cure what ails ya... CONTINUE READING

Finding the Twerp in Antwerp... and reasons to be incredibly thankful

Finding the Twerp in Antwerp, Belgium

We looked up the many definitions of "twerp" - including some seriously weird ones - trying to find how this fabulous city got its name.

Turns weirdest definition by far is the answer!

Join us in the land of severed hands, giants, odd stone lions, and incredible beer... CONTINUE READING >>

Doing Dublin... and Guess We've Always Been a Little Crazy!

Doing Dublin in Double Time

We didn’t have a pot full o’ time to discover Dublin, we had but a day to discover her charms. 

But we made the most of this fair city - we learned how to pour a perfect pint at the Guinness Academy, stormed her castle, ate native food, made a daring escape, and took a peek at Molly Malone (where exactly was David looking?)... CONTINUE READING >>

Ever Wonder How Our Adventure Began? Guess We've Always Been a Little Crazy!

Have you ever wondered how we met? 

A one-night stand (not ours!), a beat-up old (heavy metal) car named the Sharkmobile, and the US Postal Service delivered a one-three punch we couldn't ignore.

It might not be the most romantic story and, the odds most definitely were NOT in our favor, but... CONTINUE READING >>

Blood, Beer, and Blind Donkeys in Bruges, Belgium... and meet us in Charleston!

C'mon Get Happy! Meet Me in Charleston, South Carolina!

Change is an unavoidable part of being a woman "of a certain age." I'm not taking about THE Change - that's another subject altogether.

I actually prefer the word transition. Change seems too vague, too out of our control, and sometimes too overwhelming.

Our transitions are what define us; how we handle life's crazy twists and turns - and how we choose to come out on the other end.

I'll be speaking in Charleston, South Carolina on October 3rd with two fascinating women, Sharon Becker and Jennet Robinson Alterman about grabbing life's changes by the collar, showing them who's boss, and turning our transitions into happiness... See more about this wonderful event >>

Lübeck, Germany After Dark... and why the heck would you live alone?

Lubeck, Germany After Dark

Visiting Lübeck, Germany was one of those lucky coincidences that sometimes happen when traveling.

We chose it as a stopover on our Eurail Pass expedition across northern Europe mostly for its location.

But inside the famous Holsten Gate we discovered a wonderful, history-filled city that lights up when night falls... CONTINUE READING >>

Single & Over 50? Why the Heck Would You Live Alone? I'd be too...

I'm not gonna lie and pretend that I haven't thought about what I would do if David kicked the bucket - we participate in way too many crazy, fear-conquering shenanigans so, yes, the notion has passed through my head.

I know I wouldn't want to live alone if I were to become suddenly single.

I'd be lonely, wouldn't be able to afford to travel as I'd want need to, and I'd certainly not want to do a reverse boomerang and move in with... CONTINUE READING >>

Deluxe Luxembourg, Giveaways, & Going Gypsy Debuts at #1!

Discovering De- Luxembourg, Deluxe-mbourg 

As Europe’s richest country, and ranked second in the entire world, it was easy for us to think that the luxe in Luxembourg would stem from the same source as deluxe, or luxury, but it doesn't. How's that for a teaser. ;)

Join your GypsyNesters as we simply gawk at the grandeur of Luxembourg, the American Cemetery and the most beautiful balcony in the world... CONTINUE READING >>
